Many people want to integrate sustainability into their wealth strategy to some degree. To find the right balance, you’ll team up with one of our expert advisers.

We’ll also draw upon the comprehensive analysis of our highly experienced research team to find solutions you can be proud of.
Guided by rigorous research
We believe in taking the time to analyse companies ourselves, so our research team has developed a proprietary framework for evaluating companies from a sustainability perspective. Our Sustainability Summaries provide an assessment of how a company scores across certain ESG factors. Each company is assigned an environmental score, a social score, a governance score and an overall sustainability score out of five.
Some of the ESG factors we consider when analysing companies are summarised below.
- Environmental – carbon emissions, natural resource use, pollution and toxic waste, and biodiversity impact.
- Social –product quality and safety, supporting communities, supply chain labour standards and privacy/data security.
- Governance – skills and experience of the board, alignment with shareholders, corporate culture and corruption, and quality of reporting.
We monitor companies and engage with their management teams regularly in respect of our sustainability assessments, adjusting our sustainability views to help educate and empower you to make investment decisions that align with your values.
